Here is what some of our former students had to say about their experience with us.

72-year-old learner Catherine Sprague studied with us for the undergraduate Diploma of Higher Education in Archaeology. She was in the 2022/23 ‘Ancient Death and Burial’ programme and then the 2023/24 ‘Conflict Archaeology and Heritage’ programme. She shares her thoughts on her experience studying on an undergraduate programme with us:

“When I say that Cambridge University’s Institute of Continuing Education is doing something remarkable, I do not say it lightly. I came to ICE to deepen my understanding of archaeology and the ancient past in light of the newest research and methodologies. In taking this course, I was never disappointed. I can only say that I am forever grateful for my two years as an ICE student, and I hope you will all continue your remarkable work of making a world-class education available to so many worldwide.

Devika Manish Kumar studied on an undergraduate Diploma in International Relations in 2022. She shares:

“I wanted to study here, at ICE, to strengthen my research and writing skills, learn about which areas of international relations interest me, and prepare myself for graduate academic studies in this field. My undergraduate background was in engineering, so I did not get the opportunity to write summative essays. I was unsure how I would perform in my course assessments at ICE, but I have received an "Excellent" on both my assessments thus far!”

Sam Squire was part of the 2019 cohort and studied the undergraduate Certificate in Coaching. At a point where he did not know what his future looked like, he found ICE. Sam says:

 “The course helped me meet a diverse group of strangers (now lifelong friends) who I would've never crossed paths with usually. Learning from their experiences and cultures allowed me to broaden my own horizons and believe that I can achieve anything if I dedicate myself to the outcome with the right mindset. Four years ago, I was lost, afraid and scared of the future but now I'm more excited than ever for what's in store on my coaching journey and I have ICE to thank for getting me started on that path.”

Patrick Egan studied on an undergraduate Certificate in Evolutionary Biology. He enrolled on the course to further his knowledge of evolution as a primary science specialist in a school. He said:

“I love the variety of lectures and the expertise they have. Studying at ICE has given me a real thirst for learning and made me realise how much I love furthering my own education.”
